Slight catch--which is the point--the Openmoko software is very rough at the moment. Expect Apple to always have a smoother product than Openmoko, but expect Openmoko to have some major advantages for the techie market. Actually, Openmoko is *not* currently available, they sold out, the web site says later this month. I forget the price. More than the subsidized Iphone price, less than the un-subsidized Iphone price. And then there is Google's phone software. It might be quite slick. Google has money to throw at such a thing and Google is actually a hotbed of innovation. And, because both of these projects are open, they can cross-pollinate. My wife has a phone from work and so can't justify getting an Iphone, so she thinks I should. She thinks Apple products are cool. But I don't want one. Not yet. -kb, the Kent who still thinks it is cool he can use his old phone as a (slow) ppp connection to the internet for his Linux notebook. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
